This is a true muck dive with a
sandy-muddy bottom that is one of
the better critter sites in the country.
While it might not look like much,
to trained eyes it is heaven. There
are lots of rare creatures that macro
and super macro buffs constantly
look for. Found here are the
reclusive wunderpus, the beautiful
flamboyant cuttlefish, small but
deadly blue ring octopus and also
mimic octopus. Look on the smaller
black coral bushes for beautiful
sawblade shrimps. At night and
even by day one can also see the
humorously named Bobbit worm.
This is one of the more popular
critter dives in the area and even
though the sandy bottom seems
endless, it is constantly changing so
go with a good macro guide. There
is usually a brisk current that rolls
over the sand and small reefs here
so be weighted properly and
prepared for a bit of current.Butterfly sea slug
